Checked my chassis today after a thorough clean inside rails with a hose and air compressor. Close inspection found rust spots that I could push through with a screw driver. Only the drivers side affected due I think to the wiring harness inside. Treated inside with Penetrol and going to decide weather to weld bits over the rusted sections. Fitted a gas strut to the back door. Bloody brilliant.

Took the wheels off the other week, and recoated all the chassis and suspension parts, where neccessary, in preparation for winter.

Then coated the brake callipers in RAL 1018 Zinc yellow to match the Koni shock, and gave the underside a general eye over for any signs of leaks. Discovered that the rear diff breather pipe was crushed and damaged (probably during the installation of the side exit tailpipe, over a year ago). This had caused the diff to spew oil through the pinion seal. Front discs were worn out, too. On the list for the 80000 km service.

Service completed including fitting the Ashcroft shaft kit (telltale rust visible in the gearbox opening), and winter tyres fitted. The drive back from the dealership felt so smooth and quiet, which I wanted to attribute to the shaft replacement, but then remembered the soft and smooth winter tyres, which always feel luxurious, after a season of knobbly MTīs.

Took the 110 down to Dorset to collect a set of wolfs with MTRs and my bare SVX alloys

Then off to Bath to collect twin wall chimney for the new log burner

Back home, then a snow foam, wash and dry ... back in the garage

Used the leaf blower today before installing a Wipac led kit. Had to look hard for the relay; it was located behind the instrument cluster - not behind the fuse panel

Driven plate number four is currently in the vehicle, and will be replaced as soon as I get the chance.

I work on the theory that every 50k miles the box comes out for the intermediate shaft to be checked and greased (that is still the original, by the way), and the clutch to be replaced.

Fantastic in beautiful sunshine though foggy locally. Never done it before, but will post some pics hopefully soon and hope to go back to do it the other way. Apparently more rocky than it used to be, water was quite low in places, though still came in the footwells and made interesting by the ice.
